History
The Faculty of Arts at UBC has offered German language and literary programming since the University’s inauguration, with a separate Department of German created in 1946 to reflect an expansion in course offerings. The name was changed to the Department of Germanic Studies in 1974 with the addition of Swedish-language courses, and further courses on Scandinavian and Northern European language, literature, and culture continued to expand its scope. In 1999, the department merged with the former Department of Slavonic Studies to become the Department of Germanic Studies and Russian and Slavonic Studies.
